Katin Reinhardt is headed to USC. Dumb move in my opinion. If he wants to play point guard, then he should have gone to a smaller school. Andy Enfield will recruit over him at the point guard position.

I use more handles than just this one. My issue with Katin Reinhardt is how he handled the situation. Back in March, a report in the LVRJ said that Reinhardt was considering a transfer. He called the reporter a liar, made the helium video saying that he wasn't transferring, said he was a Rebels for life, and then transfers two months later. If you're thinking about transferring, then be a man and admit it. As a result, UNLV is one scholarship short of the limit because he transferred so late in the process. Rice could have tried to land a fifth year senior.

Dave Rice asked everybody if they were committed to the team for next season. One of his teammates, Carlos Lopez-Sosa (fifth year senior), said that he didn't know whether he was going to stay or transfer and would have to weigh his options. He said that in front of the ENTIRE team. He weighed his options for about a week and then said he was 100% committed to the team for next season and that he wasn't going to transfer. Also, Mike Moser was upfront about his future and told Dave Rice that he was going to transfer in order to showcase himself better for the NBA. He didn't put fans through a circus show.

The bottom line is that you handle it like CLS and MM did and not the way Katin Reinhardt did.

I find it hard to believe that I'm saying this, but I think Katin Reinhardt transferring from UNLV will help recruiting. He got hammered by the national media (Doug Gottlieb, Gary Parrish, etc.) for his dumb decision. All of the bashers (and rightfully so) mentioned how he was second in minutes and shot attempts as a true freshman as well as the freedom he had.

I don't even know how to respond to this...

Recruits want offensive freedom. You're just mad because nobody wants to play in Iowa because there's nothing to do there.

Well first, if you really think when someone sees a kid transferring from your school, and their first thought is, "Oh, it looks like he got to do whatever he wanted there, it must be awesome I want to go there," then I don't know what to tell you.

Second, I love my school (the state blows so I can't blame kids for not wanting to go there). We play in arguably the best conference in the nation, play an uptempo and attractive style on both ends of the floor, and have been significantly better lately than we were in the dark days. What do I have to be mad about?

Also, this upcoming season Illinois travels to the desert to play UNLV. I don't know what I'm going to do for that game, hopefully they create a rule that teams can tie or if both are horribad they both get losses.

Scout is confirming that Wannah Bail has given a verbal to transfer to UCLA. Yes, you read that correctly, a guy who left Texas Tech after one semester is legitimately named Wannah Bail.

Doesn't seem like a game changer, but he's a super athletic PF and the Bruins can use both athleticism and depth in the frontcourt so he seems useful. I'm eligible to play right away and has 3 years of eligibility as well.

That's a good get. However, Steve Alford can only get decent players after they transfer. He's originally from the Bahamas.

Seems like he really wanted to go to LA (I believe he visited or was planning to visit USC). Sorta glad he didn't choose USC, cause the bail jokes would be too much to put up with. Now I can make fun of bRuin fans instead.
